The lyrics to Anup Jalota's song "Tan Ke Tambure Mein" are a beautiful expression of devotion to God. The song talks about the beauty and transcendence that is experienced when one surrenders to God completely. The singer praises the divine music that is produced by the tambura (an Indian stringed instrument) and refers to it as a wondrous creation of God. The tambura is then personified as an instrument that is being played by the hands of God and the sound that it produces is the voice of God himself.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of devotion and surrender to God for inner peace and fulfillment. The singer talks about how his heart has become the abode of God, and how he has found a new lease of life through his devotion to God. He speaks of the divine melody that plays in his heart like a flute, which represents his love and devotion to his Lord. The lyrics also refer to the tears that flow from his eyes in devotion to God, and how they are like a stream that leads him to the feet of his Lord.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of love and devotion to God, and the transformative power of surrendering oneself to a higher power.
